Why does carcinoma in situ in the ovary or breast remain localized or encapsulated at least, for some time?
Solution
Answer:
The cells composing a malignant tumor, or cancer, express some proteins characteristic of the cell type from which it arose, and a high fraction of the cells grow and divide more rapidly than normal. Some malignant tumors remain localized and encapsulated, at least for a time. Carcinoma in situ in the ovary or breast is an example for the same.
